It's harder to find, but there is ... (Live jazz in ROC, November 12-18)
November 11, 2015
I know there's more out there, but if no one lets me know what can I do? When you're out hearing some live jazz, let the band or the venue know what we do here. Here's the next seven days of jazz in and around ROC. If you hear of something else, let me know and I'll add it. Pretty please....?
Please give us some love and help get the word out about Jazz@Rochester! Do you know someone who loves going out to hear live jazz? Share this site and suggest they join us here, or on Twitter, Facebook or Instagram. If they prefer, they sign up to get our posts via email by clicking on the image of the site coming out of the envelope in the middle column.
After the "fold" (click the link if there is one for you) you will find the next seven days of live jazz in and around Rochester. Let me know if any regular gigs below are no longer happening. Check back later in the week for stragglers.
